Arrow Port Aventura, Spain

NAME: HURAKAN CONDOR
STYLE: FREE-FALL (INTAMIN MULTI-ELEMENT FREE FALL) (2 sit-down, 2 stand-up floorless, and 1 stand-up tilting)
AREA: MÉXICO
HEIGHT: 100 m.
Nº CARS: 5 (4 person each one)
MAX VELOCITY: 115 KM/H


From what I gather from the available information, riders will drop 86 meters and the 24 meter high building at the base of the tower will house the brakes and various special effects.

These kinds of rides always give me the chills. I love the belly-feeling though.

Might have a standup side, floorless side, conventional side, tilting side, etc.

Or I'm completely wrong.

Nothing, you'll probanly board bicycle like seats (like on standup coasters) and be standing on a floor permentaly attatched to the ground, or just the ground, then, as the ride lifts you to the top, viola, no more floor.

However, I'm just assuming this, but it does seem pretty logical.

It would be exactly like the 'seating' on Acrophobia @ SFOG.
